Prime Video picks up Big Little Fish true-crime series

Big Little Fish adds stranger than fiction story about Britain’s biggest and most unlikeliest drug dealer to the company’s growing true-crime slate.

(London - Jan 10 2024) Big Little Fish today announces that the company’s two-part true-crime series Breaking Dad (WT) is included in multi-title deal brokered by Abacus Media Rights (AMR), an Amcomri Entertainment Company, to Prime Video in the UK.

Jonathan Ford, Managing Director, AMR comments, “We are extremely pleased to announce this agreement with Prime Video. Viewers in the UK are fascinated by true crime series which continue to attract significant audiences. Our on-going relationships with many of the leading producers of this genre enables us to have some fantastic titles available for pre-buy.”  

Breaking Dad (WT) is the incredible story of how Richard Lubbock, a mild-mannered, north London, Jewish family-man became Britain’s biggest meth dealer. Revealed for the first time in two gripping one-hour films, the series is inspired by his son James's memoir Breaking Dad, a stranger than fiction story that recounts a cautionary tale as Richard risks everything to swap his comfortable life for one of crime at a time when one of the most addictive drugs on the planet was making its way into the beating heartland of the London club scene.

This is the story of the most unlikely character who contributed to the rise of meth in Britain in the early 2000s, and how the police managed to eventually catch him. At times shocking, often unbelievable, but all 100% true.

International Rights are managed by Abacus Media Rights (AMR), an Amcomri Entertainment Company.
